Florian Wirtz and Bayern Munich have reached a preliminary agreement, ahead of an official signing in the near future.

According to Bild, Bayern and Wirtz quickly finalized the terms of the contract, making this one of the most sensational transfers in Bundesliga history.

Recently, Wirtz said he would not renew his contract with Leverkusen, and wanted to "step out of his comfort zone" by taking on challenges in a bigger environment.

Wirtz is said to not be considering offers already on the table from European football giants such as Real Madrid or Manchester City.

Instead, he is only interested in playing for Bayern Munich and becoming the leader of the new project at the Allianz Arena, after the generation of Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer leave.

The deal has two scenarios: one is that Wirtz joins this summer, which is the preferred option for both sides; the other is that the deal will be completed in 2026 if Leverkusen and Bayern cannot agree on a transfer fee.

In the second case, Bayern also received a commitment from Wirtz that he was willing to wait another year.

This allows the Bavarian club to negotiate a lower price than the expected €100 million, given the risk of Wirtz becoming a free agent in 2027.

In addition, German channel Sky revealed that Wirtz received a salary of 20-25 million euros per season in a 5-year contract with Bayern Munich. This figure far exceeds the offers of Man City or Real Madrid.

With this salary, Wirtz becomes a key factor for the future of the Bavarian club, as well as being among the highest-earning players in the team.
